According to the textbook, Social Psychology by Aronson, Wilson and Ekert, stereotyping is, "a generalization about a group in which identical characteristics are assigned to virtually all members of the group, regardless of actual variation among the members" (Aronson et al, 597). In other words, stereotyping occurs when assumptions are made about a group and its members, regardless of whether all the members possess the attributions of the assumptions. Some stereotypes are formed to make us feel better about ourselves and about the group to which we belong, while other stereotypes are formed to help us better understand and categorize the world around us. Stereotyping and other theories closely related to it will find meaning and explanation in the movie "Finding Nemo." An example of a (neutral) stereotypical statement would be, "All tomatoes are red." While it is true that most tomatoes possess the characteristic of being red, some tomatoes are not red. Therefore, the exemplified stereotype that "all tomatoes" are red is erroneous. The errors committed by stereotyping are demonstrated time and again in the movie "Finding Nemo".

The first scene which poses an example of stereotyping takes place when Marlin, Nemo's dad, is swimming Nemo to his first day of school. On their way, the pair of clown fish are joined by three other fish-parents. The three parents then coerce Marlin into telling them a joke. They are presuming that because he is a clown fish he will also be funny. The fish parent addressing Marlin says, "Hey! You're a clown fish! You're funny right? Tell us a joke!" Marlin responds, "Well, actually, that's a common misconception. Clown fish are no funnier than any other fish." This scene serves as a perfect example of stereotyping. It is assumed that because clowns are generally funny, Marlin, the clown fish, would also be funny. When in fact, Marlin is very poor at telling jokes. As the movie progresses Marlin himself will use stereotyping, attempting to better understand his sea surroundings. While swimming in a strange and frightening place, there is much to learn. During their quest, Marlin and Dory accidentally cross paths with a great white shark named Bruce. Marlin is absolutely petrified because he inaccurately assumes that sharks always eat fish. After Marlin shies away from Bruce's handshake, the shark directly confronts this fish-eating stereotype, by saying "Oh I know, why trust a shark?" When Marlin makes the assumption that the sharks are going to eat Dory and himself, he falls prey to another yet type of stereotyping. Assuming that sharks always eat fish exemplifies the ultimate attribution error. The ultimate attribution error is, "the tendency to make dispositional attributions about an entire group " (Aronson et. al, 481). Marlin erroneously assumes that all sharks have a fish-eating disposition. Following his attribution error, Marlin recounts to the sharks the heinous tale of Nemo's abduction by a human diver. In a disgusted response, the smallest shark remarks, "Humans, they think they own everything!" "Probably American!" the hammerhead adds.

These stanzas both illustrate negative stereotypes in action. First, the sharks classify all humans (an out-group) as selfish and materialistic by saying, "they think they own everything". This is obviously not true, as there are instances in which people are not selfish or materialistic. Secondly, the hammerhead makes an attribution about Americans. His remark reflects back on the smallest shark's statement. So, here, the hammerhead is attributing that Americans are humans who "think they own everything." In other words, the hammerhead attributes the negative stereotype to all Americans because he holds Americans to a certain, obviously negative, esteem. This is another instance where a fallacy of assumption has been made. Nemo's kidnapper is not, in fact, an American, but an...

...FindingNemo: The Movie
FindingNemo directed by Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrick is a great family packed computer-animated comedy-adventure that the whole family can sit down and enjoy.
The movie "FindingNemo" is about a clown fish named Nemo who learns that growing up and gaining independence doesn't mean your parents don't know what is good for you. The movie starts off with howNemo was born with a tiny fin and with only a father to raise him. Nemo then gets lost and taken out of the ocean to be made into a pet fish. In his journey Nemo learns not to lack self confidence because he has a disability swimming with a tiny fin, and how much his father's advice and protection really is a value to his life. Even with the deep message the movie was very funny and compelling.
The movie takes place in the ocean near Australia. The graphic in this movie really makes the screen look kind of like a fish tank. Marlin, Nemo's father, is over protective of his son because his wife and all of Nemo's siblings were killed by a shark when Nemo was just an egg. On Nemo's first day of school he is anxious to get out and explore the ocean and have some independence from his overprotective father. In his attempt to prove to his father he can go out in the ocean alone, and to prove to his classmates that he is just as good a swimmer as...

...the world trusting no one but one’s self, but in order to overcome fear, on must learn to trust in themselves and those around them. In Disney’s Pixar film FindingNemo, a clown fish named Marlin sets out on a journey to find his son Nemo who was captured. Through the journey, Marlin learns to trust in those around him instead of living in fear of the unknown. With overcoming obstacles and fighting the ocean, Marlin learns what it means to be a part of the world as an adult and as a father instead of fearing the world around him (North).
In FindingNemo, Marlin is ready for a wonderful life with his wife and their hundreds of children ready to be born. He had found the perfect home as it was like a Garden of Eden for him. But happiness did not last long. Tragedy hit Marlin as his entire family was killed as fast as Zeus’s striking bolt, yet a survivor had lived the attack. Little Nemo was born with a handicap of a smaller fin due to an injury from the tragic attack. Due to the terrible experience, Marlin became wary of the world, cautious of every corner at all times. He took precautions of every little thing. Being over protection of Nemo became an understatement. “Marlin doesn’t believe that Nemo can do much of his own because of his somewhat deformed fin” (reelclassrooms). Marlin seems to put his entire life around Nemo, protecting and every...

...FindingNemo Essay
Joseph Campbell states, “For those who have not refused the call, their first encounter of the hero-journey is with a protective figure.” A protective figure can be known as a mentor, someone who acts as a guide and helps you through your journey.

This film is about a clownfish named Marlin who lives in waters of the Great Barrier Reef with his son Nemo. Marlin is fearful of the dangers that occur in the ocean and struggles to protect his son from these dangers. Nemo on the other hand is a curious young fish that wants to explore the ocean.

Not letting the audiences’ expectation of another successful computer-animated movies like the previous brothers, the trailer of FindingNemo has done a great job to catch the attention of the audient and claim it to be a huge success in the near future when it comes to the theater. With the skillful hands, Disney has combined brilliantly the visual images and sound as well as the scripts and dialogs to create the exciting trailer that could stimulate any curiosity to watch the whole movie.
FindingNemo is the third feature-length computer animated motion picture made in collaboration between Disney and Pixar. Its previous successful brother was Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.

Film story
FindingNemo is a fantastic movie, full of memorable characters, fast-paced action and a cinematic wonder. Unlike many of the "family" films we've been getting, it doesn't take the easy way out with over the top silly jokes.
Writer and director Andrew Stanton also did Monster's Inc and A Bug's Life. These two films only go on for 100 minutes but it’s just short enough to keep the kids watching it without falling asleep. FindingNemo strongly makes itself a family film, rather than the usually awful films you take the family to.
Through a horrible event, Nemo (Alexander Gould) loses his mum and...

In the movie FindingNemo covered by John Lacader and his longtime colleague Andrew Stanton who wanted to do a video on ocean environment.

...Epics Over the Years
The Odyssey, a historical epic, was the first written of its kind. Since then, many stories’ plots have focused on the characteristics that made it an epic, such as FindingNemo. Although the Odyssey was written many years ago, Finding Nemo’s qualities are along the same lines. Both stories contain characters on a journey in search of something of significance. Monsters threaten the quest home, helpers assist the heroes on their journeys, the heroes are glorified in the end, and there is a strong relationship between a parent and their child. Some of these are more commonly found or recognized than others.
The most commonly used motif of all is the quest for something of importance. In the Odyssey, Odysseus was away from home for twenty years and could not wait to see his faithful wife, Penelope, and loyal son, Telemachus (Homer). Odysseus is on his journey home to see his family and reclaim his throne as king of Ithaca. Just like Odysseus, in FindingNemo, Marlin, a clownfish, swims across the ocean in a desperate search for his son, Nemo, after he was captured by a scuba diver. Marlin’s son was precious to him, and the only family he had in his life (Stanton). Odysseus and Marlin’s families are greatly important in their lives, and they make it clear that reuniting with them is a top priority.
